The past year has been very good but no doubt 1985 will be the best year ever.

Frank Sauder arrived with Randy and he has taken over many of the clasess in our English school. They also teach a number of Bible classes, some in English and some with me translating. Lois and I are still teaching 12 to 14 hours a- week in the English school, between us, and are quite occupied with translating for our teachers, answering the phone, working with kindergarten parents who are on committees for different activities and also, we. are building an Amway business. We are planning that dur Amway business, plus our social security from the Japanese .government, will keep us in funds when we become older. I continue to preach every Sunday, in Japanese of course, and Lois substitutes in the Sunday School once a month. We have a Bible Class in our home every Wednesday evening. At the present time we are studying Job and Acts. Also, on Saturday night we listen to a tape of a church service in the US for the benefit of those of us whose native language is English. On Sunday, one of our Sunday School classes is taught in our home. Lois and I plan to visit the US in February of 1985 to see our children who are there and also to attend our church elder conference in Florida, which is to be on the 14th and 15th. . .” US CENSUS figures for July 1982 show the population of Kosciusko County to be 59,840. Os 11 northeastern Indiana counties, Kosciusko is second in number of people after Fort Wayne’s Allen County. Warsaw has 10,863 residents and Winona Lake 2,981. The Kosciusko County Historical Society and this writer are asking where the other 45,996 people are? A guess is that half or more’of them are lake property owners, most of whom are here only in the summer. • —o— THIS PHOTO of Amanda Davisson of Emeline Street appeared on the front page of ‘the PAPER,’ a sister publication of The M-J in December.

Mrs. Davisson is the type of person who likes to do something for others. During 1984, it is estimated she crocheted 75 shoulder wraps for nursing home patients. She also makes stocking caps and other items. The Milford resident rides the KABS bus to Warsaw every Monday and donates all of her completed items to the Red Cross. She is just one of many people who reside in Milford who donated many hours and many talents to help others. ACCORDING TO Mrs. Randall (Gwen) Dewart, several Milford residents witnessed a very nice Christmas Eve program on CBS that featured Keith Jones. Jones is a retired minister of the Congregational Church in Weathersfield, Conn., and is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Emeral Jones of Milford. He is a MHS graduate. The live telecast started at 12 midnight, according to Mrs. Dewart. The church, which Jones pastored. was celebrating its 350 year of operation. —o— OBSERVATION: PROCTER & Gamble’s is concerned over people who are once again spreading a false and malicious rumor about the company and the trademark. Since early 1981, there has been a totally false rumor that Procter & Gamble’s moon and stars trademark is a satanical/occult symbol which signified some connection with satanism or devil worship. Some have also claimed that a Procter & Gamble official appeared on a talk show to discuss the company’s connection with satanism. Material being mailed to newspapers all over

the country state none of this is true. William F. Dobson, of The Procter & Gamble Company, states the president of the company never appeared on any talk show to discuss satanism. He says, the moon and stars trademark is more than 100 years old and represents only P&G. Calls and letters about this malicious and ugly rumor reached a peak in the summer of 1982. At that time, the producers of various network talk shows provided letters clearly stating that no Procter & Gamble executive has appeared on their show for any purpose. At that same time, many religious leaders, disturbed by the spread of this malicious rumor, also volunteered statements on the company’s behalf. Letters were written by Jerry Falwell and Billy Graham, as well as many others. Lawsuits were filed in 1982 against a number of people who

were intentionally spreading the rumor, and the company will do so again, if necessary. P&G officials thought' they had the rumor under control. Unfortunately, the stories resurfaced and have taken on a new life in some areas. Calls and letters have been received from people in this area in recent weeks. When this happens, the company believes the best way to deal with the situation is to get information to people in the areas where the rumor is circulationg so they will be equipped with the facts to challenge anyone who attempts to spread the malicious stories further. There have been seven P&G trademarks sjnce 1851. The first was a crude cross, painted by a wharf hand on a wooden box of Star brand candles. It was the beginning. In time the cross developed into an encircled star — still mearly a part of the rivermen’s shipping “sign language.”

The first standard trademark adopted by the company was a roughly drawn crescent enclosing 13 stars; the stars representing the original 13 colonies.' The 1882 model “Moon and Stars” had been refined and was registered in the U. S. Patent Office. The man in the moon was a popular decorative faccy of the 1800 s. By 1902 the trademark still basically the same, displayed some of the “gingerbread frills” typical of the turn-of-the-century. Around 1920 the trademark became more simplistic — still, however, there was no fundamental changes from the original design. * Finally, in 1930, a sculptor was commissioned by P&G to design today’s authorized version of the famous “Moon and Stars.“

Wed., January 2,1985 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

P&G’s management recognized the importance of the man-in-the-moon element when they eliminated it from the trademark in the 1860 s and a merchant “down river” rejected a shipment of Star candles, an. early product of the company, which carried the modified trademark; he chided the company by letter for sending imitations. The moon promptly went back into service.

So. it is our observation from reading the letters from the Procter & Gamble officials, the producers of several television shows, Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham, and others that P&G is the vicitm of rumors and their trademark is just what they say it is. the moon and 13 stars; items we see all theXirjie, items created by God, each with its own purpose. — JRS
